Senate Democrats Demand Meeting with Chief Justice Over Alito's Flag Controversy
TL;DR Summary
Federal Judge Michael Ponsor criticized Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for flying provocative flags, including an upside-down American flag, outside his homes, calling it "dumb" and "improper." The flags, associated with Trump supporters and the January 6 Capitol riot, have led Democratic lawmakers to call for Alito's recusal from cases related to Trump and the 2020 election. Ponsor's op-ed in the New York Times emphasized that such actions could erode trust in the judiciary.
